    I think you can see them moving if they have a pokemon/item in them. On another note, I find myself in need of a charizard Y stone. Anyone got one they'd be willing to part with?

    Video Games as a Medium

    tangent: The Harry Potter thing you mentioned is made even more blatant by the film tossing out the entirely necessary exposition in favor of a melodramatic Neville speech (book defiance: two lines, movie defiance: STOP TALKING ALREADY) and then making Harry and Voldemort's last "fight" an asinine shakycam clusterfuck. back to topic: Choice doesn't necessarily have to be the thing that makes a game a game. Half-life as a whole has basically no choice on the part of the player beyond 'keep following the plot,' but in a weird way that's why it works as a game- the player has about as much control of the situation as Gordon does. Same with Bioshock and Infinite (both of which were devilishly meta about it). Similarly, there are a lot of games that would just not work in any other medium- Journey, for example, is half interactive art-piece and half adventure game thing. And there's not much in the way of challenge in it, but it's still fascinating to play. Same with To The Moon. I had a lot of rambling thoughts that made no sense when typed, but in short- presentation matters. To make a dated reference, I know [a game] when I see it.

    Speaking of long titles, it's always amusing when episode titles basically totally give away the plot of the episode. The winner on that one is actually One Piece manga chapter 574, entitled Gee thanks, I was wondering how last week's cliffhanger would resolve. on another note I can't stop watching the UBW movie even though it's such a terrible adaptation it's just hilarious to see Gilgamesh shrieking "ONORE ONORE ONORE [repeat 12x] in the climax

    A donkey walks into a bar. The bartender goes, "What, is this some kind of joke?" The donkey says, "You don't have to be a jackass about it."

    I just did the tile puzzles, it takes thirty seconds max. Plus for Sylveon you only need two hearts.

    Pokemon

    I went all out at the fancy store in Lumiose- black button shirt, black vinyl bag, slacks, white knit cap because I refuse to fedora level 10 with a new move that's apparently a silly variant of false swipe

    The restaurants in lumiose (the one-star one is ludicrously easy to do early on) get you massive quantities of money quickly.
